On Thursday I headed off to Houston. Now, it is only about a five hour drive but it feels like FOREVER!!!! Anyway, I made it to town in time to see the kids get home from school!
While Thursday was basically a travel day, Friday was packed full!!! We woke up early as we had to leave by 7 am to get to court by 8:30 am. The actual adoption proceedings were a maximum of five minutes. The judge actually did 4 adoptions totally in about 30 minutes. My friends answered a few questions as did their two older children. The judge then granted the adoption and then handed out stuffed animals to all 3 kids. We then all went out for a big breakfast and dinner later that night to celebrate.
The rest of Friday was spent shopping with the kids. Parker got his Darth Vader costume and Marly Grace got her Molly, American Girl, tap dance outfit. Actually, Marly Grace's costume is Captain America's daughter but it looked like what she wanted so I bought it for her. We also shopped for outfits for each of the kids. So it was an afternoon of shopping, shopping, and shopping.
Saturday was once again packed. Marly Grace had her own football games to cheer at and Parker had his first flag football game. I went to Parker's game. I know I am biased, but he is a great football player. He played quarterback, receiver, and linebacker. He is so versatile.
The LSU game was Saturday afternoon. I won't comment on the game. It was nerve wracking enough the first time!!! All I will say is that we did win.
My new niece, Cassady Hope, is a happy, happy baby who loves to laugh. I was so happy to be able to join them in the finalization of the adoption. She is a welcome addition to the family!
